Very nice. Good plumbing too (i.e., getting rid of crap)!

I ride past this building nearly every day. I don’t like it at all it’s a cheap and tacky faux-traditional that would fit in at a Class B garden-style complex somewhere in the South.

The former modernist design was better. This easy unimaginative faux-classical type of design is unfortunately the ‘more profitable’ way to build NYC residential buildings. Modernist architecture is always the best way to design in terms of aesthetics; but it is not aways the most profitable.

such a shame they went with a Walmart version of RAMSA instead

I think the design could’ve somehow been better if the mansard roof was more angled and had some details as well as the dormers. It’s not “bad” but it’s not good either, it’s just “there”.
